The Little Herb Garden That Could

I have to admit that here at Hibiscus House herbs haven't thrived. For years I've tried to grow them without any surviving. This year I decided to put some in the porch rail boxes and line the back doorsteps with some.
Yes! Finally I've had a kitchen herb garden within my reach for making all sorts of delicious dishes.
I can tell you that having this jungle as Chuck calls it on the back stoop has kept the mosquitoes at bay. They hate the Lemon Balm and the Lemongrass!
I call this the Little Herb Garden That Could Be home to many little critters and keep mosquitoes away!
In this bed we have Lemongrass, Chives, Peppermint, Chocolate Mint, Parsley
This little lizard loves this herb box
Yes I think they are Monarchs and they are ravenous. They will have a blog post of their own...


Hey experts out there isn't this the Monarch Butter Catepillar?

    I believe those are actually black swallowtail caterpillars. They've probably been munching on your parsley.
